Lol...i have a dollar in my sock….BUT I DON'T OWN THE TEEN TITANS! A dollar isn't enough for that….sulks
Anywho…I am SO sorry for the long wait….my comp crashed and all that….
So finally…HERE IT IS!
The sounds of shouting, music, and breaking glass reached their ears. Raven simply continued on and silenced the two guards with her powers. She motioned for Robin to knock them out.
Now in the party area, they could see about 50 or so ragged and drunk looking teens.
"This is too easy" Raven said smirking slightly. Robin hung back and simply wondered how she was going to take on all of them. He soon found out.
Only a few minutes later, to Robins astonishment, Raven had somehow managed to make all of them disappear, and lock them out of the building.
"How did you?..." Robin trailed off, gaping at the empty room.
"You don't need to know that." Raven stated simply before going upstairs to the place where Robin had been heading to before.
"So this is….headquarters…." Raven said, rather amused that their "headquarters" was only a run down apartment building. It seemed that every five minutes, another piece of paint would chip off, a window would shatter, or a wall would creak ominously.
"Well…only for now…Once we start fighting crime the mayor is bound to pay us SOME sort of reward…." Robin said, still keeping his optimistic attitude.
"I think we need a few more people to help…we need a team….it cant just be two of us…." Raven said, thinking about sitting down somewhere, but deciding not to, as she had no idea what might be living in that rug….
"But it was just two of us when Batman and I patrolled Gothem…" Robin said, rather offended that two wasn't good enough.
"That's because you were a sidekick. And I do NOT want to be a sidekick." Raven said, snapping the last sentence at him before he could make any comments.
"Okay, okay… we'll find someone else to join… I'll check newspapers in the library for articles on meta-humans or kids with special powers or something…."
"I'll look around town. The orphans and kids living on the streets seem to be the ones with the gifts. Take from a person with first-hand experience…" Raven said, trailing off and trying to fight back memories.
"Yeah…we had better go then…library closes in a few hours…and it'll be dark soon anyway."
Raven nodded and they both walked downstairs and strolled out the door, Raven in no particular direction, and Robin to the library.
Raven had been searching for almost and hour now, and it was starting to get dark. She was supposed to go back to the 'headquarters' after sunset. Just about to give up her search, Raven spotted something glinting in the shadow of a pile of rubble, that she supposed had once been a building.
Raven approached it cautiously, unsure of what she would find.
'Damn this natural human curiosity…' she thought to herself.
"GO AWAY!" a voice shouted, and the glint moved slightly.
" I SAID GO AWAY!" the voice shouted again, and the glint moved more, before a robot, or a human mixed with a robot walked out from where Raven had seen the glint.
"Who are you?..." she asked trying not to stare at his half robot, half human body.
"No one anyone care about….no one important…just a random freak…" the robot-man said.
Shaking her head, Raven replied, "On the contrary some people DO care. We, my friend and I, need someone like you to help us fight crime…. But…do you mind me asking….how did you get like this?"
The robot-man sighed.
"My name before the accident was Victor Stone… My house was blown up by accident…. I was the only one who survived…. Some scientists rebuilt me….but now I'm like this…."he said, gesturing to his metallic body.
"They call me Cyborg now… I don't bother keeping my real name…I was rejected from everything. School, sports, even my own family." He continued sadly.
"Well you wont be rejected by us. Come on…I'll bring you to your new home…yeah I know it'll be kind of….messy…and broken down….and stuff…but its home none the less…" Raven said, trying to be nice so that she could get him to join.
Cyborg simply nodded and followed her.
Arriving at the apartment building, they were greeted by Robin motioning for them to come upstairs immediately.
"Follow me." Raven instructed simply before running up the stairs, Cyborg following not far behind.
Upon walking in, they both saw a green boy sitting in the corner.
Okay…sorry to leave you guys there…but its 10pm and I have school tomorrow… 'night!
Ill try and get another chap. In within the week if school doesn't screw everything up.
